GDT for Cest Magnifique Kit Club

I'm so excited to finally announce today my Guest Designer Position at Cest MagnifiqueKit Club. I was thrilled when Leslie (the owner) asked me to design for her with the October Kit "Last Kiss of Summer" featuring an Australian Company Ruby Rock-it (such Yumminess)

I've been subscribing to Ces't Magnifique kits for quite sometime and I must say they are one of the best kits out there.

Here are some of the layouts I made with this kit. I will show you close-ups of these layouts throughout the month.

Each layout ended up being a different color.

"Follow your Dreams"Blue

This is a picture of my kids in our recent trip to the eastern part of Canada. I tried to give this layout an ocean feel. I inked the flowers in a bluish-green color with Shimmerz ink. I also dabbed alcohol ink on the flourishes to make them greener.

For this layout I used the CSI/OUAS combination Challenge Case FIle #38

This is how I solved the case:Evidence: Flowers, Branches, MistingTestimony: Black Border around the photo

This layout was my second pink layout of the set. I cut out lots of flowers out of the papers and spread them across the page. I felt that the pink Green Tara flower was too large for my layout, therefore I separated it in half and used just one flower across the whole layout. You can see the larger petals underneath and the smaller pink flower as the main focus of the flower cluster.

I wanted this layout to have a purplish feel. I sprayed the background with purple ink and let it drip down the page.I sprayed the white beehive blossoms in black and then I added some orange tones to balance the page. I painted the title in the copper paint and I highlighted the flowers in the background with an orange pen.

Here is a picture of the October Kit, "Last Kiss of Summer". This kit contains paper from an Australian manufacturer - Ruby Rock-it. Inside the kit you will find items from Shimmerz, Prima, ScrapFX, Fabscraps, Manor House, and others.

What a great assortment of embellishments!

Both add-ons for this kit have sold out, but there are still some kits available for purchase HERE. Additionally, there are some individual items from the kit and add-ons available HERE. And to make sure you never miss out on a kit, see how to join HERE!

Congrats on your GD gig Keren! my gosh you've been busy busy busy creating up a storm!My fave is actually the one for OUAS/CSI which I am now commenting on. LOVE how you have created the "waves" with the doilies, the absolutely dreamy photo and pretty pretty fussy-cutting. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful page with us at OUAS!

Hi, I'm KerenI’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to two amazing kids. I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and I'm very passionate about it. Over the past couple of years, I've diverted myself into the mixed media world and I love combining them both together.

I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that's one of the things I love about this art. I hope you enjoy the layouts I create!!
